I don't understand it, that's why I am asking and hoping people who do will educate me. I am not here to bash, if I was I would've left the pool. I just want to make sure.

The speed displayed in the your miner is the amount of hashes your GPUs are computing per seconds. Some of these hashes turn out to be low difficulty solutions to the block, and are sent back to your pool. Your speed displayed on the pool is established upon that later part. The frequency at which you find and submit these solutions is subject to fluctuations, so your effective speed on the pool will be within a certain bracket, technically could expect that speed to fluctuate anywhere between +/- 20% your hashing speed, but rest assured, it evens out in the long term.
